Sparks Commercials Exeter is a perfect strategic fit for us in terms of location, with excellent access to the M5 and A30, and underpins our growth plans to further develop our business across the South and South West of England. Furthermore, key members of our team already have strong links to the South West, including our Commercial Director Wayne Petherick, making this acquisition a natural progression in line with our expansion plans.”

We have a great deal to offer and we look forward to growing sales of the Renault Trucks brand in this important region.”
